💪 Hitting the gym hard? The Bundesliga clubs’ New Year’s resolutions | OneFootball

In the new year, everything will get better, that's quite clear. The 18 Bundesliga clubs also want to turn everything bad into good by 2026. We've done some snooping and found out their new resolutions for you.

1. FSV Mainz 05

At 1. FSV Mainz 05, the matter was quickly clear. The underdog wants to wear the Conference League mask in the Bundesliga as well. Then avoiding relegation will surely work out – and the carnival costume is already set.

1. FC Heidenheim

Heidenheim, on the other hand, wants to learn to score many goals in injury time. Recently, this worked wonderfully in their 2-1 victories against Union Berlin and SC Freiburg. Sometimes a game indeed has more than 90 minutes.

FC St. Pauli

The neighborhood kickers want to pretend it's December all year round for five months. Sure, winter jackets in spring are annoying, but in terms of points, staying in the league would be easy.

FC Augsburg

Ave, Augsburg – or how was it? The Fugger city team wants to finally transform the WWK Arena into the Colosseum of modern times. In this fortress, a Bundesliga team should first dare to take points.

VfL Wolfsburg

The recently rather tame Wolves are willing to take a lot of roaring training. With the necessary shouting, the million-dollar team might also play better football permanently.

Hamburger SV

In Hamburg, "Always Hardcore" should now be pumped even when conceding goals. The hoped-for effect? The Volkspark remains in good spirits, and the opponent gets confused and messes up their defense.

Borussia Mönchengladbach

At Borussia, it's really all about Franck Honorat and Tim Kleindienst. Both should be kept fit if possible. Together with the cigarette, they could then provide a lot of positive fun for their own fans.

1. FC Köln

The FC is eyeing Heidenheim to best implement their resolution. The Billy Goats will do everything to avoid throwing away a game in injury time – as has happened more frequently recently. How fitting that the first opponent in the new year is Heidenheim...

Werder Bremen

Werder, meanwhile, is trying to decipher Victor Boniface's internet codes. The striker actually just wants to tell Horst Steffen how to use him.

SC Freiburg

Freiburg's New Year's resolution is: Vincenzo Grifo. More precisely: to keep Vincenzo Grifo. The Freiburg set-piece god is currently linked with a move to Italy and could leave a big gap at SCF.

Union Berlin

After Union was the club embodiment of 0:0 for years, this season there was already an exciting 4:3 against Eintracht and two thrilling top matches against FC Bayern. The New Year's resolution for the Köpenickers: More 4:3, less 0:0.

Eintracht Frankfurt

Incredible but true: Eintracht Frankfurt has conceded the second most goals after 1.FC Heidenheim. The resolution on the Main is clearly to finally tighten up at the back. They don't want to be the league's football incontinence.

VfB Stuttgart

Because it was so nice last year, the Swabians' resolution must clearly be to bring the DFB Cup back to Stuttgart. Äffle and Pferdle certainly don't want to give up the trophy yet.

TSG Hoffenheim

Get all party boats in Sinsheim and the surrounding area off the water as quickly as possible!

RB Leipzig

Since RB signed Rômulo from Göztepe, there's once again a cool offensive Brazilian in the Bundesliga. The resolution for RB: More of that!

Bayer 04 Leverkusen

After the material scandal against BVB and the derby scandal against Köln, Bayer Leverkusen's New Year's resolution must be a serious conversation with their own security service. Otherwise, their own fans might not leave the stadium early for the last time.

Borussia Dortmund

Honestly: The season is going better for BVB than it is sometimes portrayed. The New Year's resolution is simply to get Serhou Guirassy back into the goal flow. Then little stands in the way of a solid to strong season.

Bayern München

For FC Bayern, it can continue like this. The resolution for the coming year, given the high expectations, is nothing less than the treble. Looking at the performances so far, that's anything but out of the question.
